Re: TIMS Down - 2/19/14

Huh? I'm not sure why FIRST is taking this position this year?

In 2012 the morning of the deadline TIMS was down, couldn't submit Dean's List nomination. I called FIRST and they acknowledged the problem and told me to email them the submission _before_ the time deadline and they would take that as our official entry.

IT WORKED, because our nominated student WON Dean's List Finalist at Alamo Regional.

Can't help but wonder if there's a student(s) locked-out from consideration that would have won had the exception been made in 2014 like it was in 2012...

EDIT: I believe later that day, they extended the deadline (using TIMS for submission) after receiving many emailed entries.
